A fabulously creative day spent playing with colour and the jigsaw linocut technique to create two and three-colour prints.

I do love my job!

It’s been a lovely, creative day with a group who came to my beginners #linocut workshop in the summer and wanted to come back to make #ChristmasCards. Just 1 place left for autumn on 21 November.

Carving the first lino block for my Robin in Snow Christmas card. The finished piece will be a four-colour print and available as Christmas cards.

Fair point! When we left Boogle Hole, a whole class of young children started streaming down the path to the YHA. Glad we weren't staying two nights!

This wren and little owl #linocut print went off to a new home this week. The green #LittleOwl is now SOLD OUT. 🔴But, I do have original prints in teal blue. My #wren is available in green and slate blue.

Sounds lovely. 😊

Lucky you!
Thant would he lovely. Thank you. 😊

My many walks along the Cleveland Way coast path towards Ravenscar inspired this #RobinHoodsBay #linocut print. It’s one of my favourite walks. I have sooo many photos of this view!

I just love living in Yorkshire! So much inspiration.

How lovely. Do you still have family there and visit?

Monday’s walk from Boggle Hole to #RobinHoodsBay and along the #ClevelandWay.

I don’t often get time to be a tourist in #York. Although I’m only a mile from Micklegate Bar and 2 miles from #YorkMinster, it’s nice to walk the longer ways round and enjoy many of York’s green spaces along the way.

Thanks so much Claire! I will do. I loved reading Jim’s book, researching ideas and creating them. ☺️

Buttremere, Lake District. Inspired by a weekend spent exploring the fells of the Lakes. I walked up to Haystack and at the summit was greeted with sweeping views over #Buttermere and Crummock Water. 👉

Making the most of the weather. I prefer to carve in summer, listening to the birds and nature outside. It makes a huge difference to how I feel, and it's probably why I feel a bit down in winter. What do you do to keep your spirits up?

I love how my upcycled cold water tank plant pot has grown. It was taken out of the loft 2 years ago when my heating broke, and I’ve been meaning to plant it up since then! Well, eventually I did in late summer.

This is how I fixed the white spot on my barn owl #linocut prints. Phew!

I’ve been printing a few more of my barn owl #linocut prints and have encountered a problem with how the lino block prints. So, I thought I’d explain what caused it.

An edition of this #Scarborough #linocut print went off to a new home last weekend. It was bought as a memory of family holidays at Cayton Bay on the North Yorkshire Coast.
